lightheartedness

It had a light-heartedness that was endearing and worthy of that Sherlock Holmes genre it so alluringly wanted to emulate.

You wondered if your dream meant that the light-heartedness and joy of your life (your dog) was being killed off by the hideous situation.

This light-heartedness is reflected in the national symposia's wanderings throughout the country's regions, where they are often entrusted to groups just beginning to form rather than to well-established groups.
